This Colombian orchid is now exemplified by three 
Peruvian collections, in which there appear to be certain 
discrepancies from the type. One plant bears an oblong- 
ovoid, rather than ‘‘narrowly oblong,’’ pseudobulb, and 
another has a larger pseudobulb about 8 cm. long. The 
leaves are elliptic-oblong, rather than ‘‘ligulate,’* com- 
monly longer than specified (up to 10.2 cm. long) and 
always wider (up to 2.8 cm. broad). The dorsal sepal is 
2.6-8 cm. (not 2.3 cm.) long, and the lateral sepals are 
up to 8.5 em. long. The lip, which has a more or less 
distinct lateral lobule above the middle on each side, is 
often somewhat wider than specified and the column is 
sometimes over 8 mm. (not 7 mm.) long.
